Dawn of Egypt Review

Dawn of Egypt Reviewed February 20 2020 by Casinogamesonnet.com

Play’n GO has an affinity for Ancient Egyptian slots lately. They’re going down this road once again with Dawn of Egypt.

The latter is a five-reel, 10-line slot that looks like Play’n GO’s other games based on this genre. However, it offers some nuances that separate it from similar Play’n GO games, including Book of Dead, Doom of Egypt, and Legacy of Egypt.

Gameplay and Atmosphere

Dawn of Egypt doesn’t feature anything new in terms of gameplay. It has five reels and three rows (5x3 grid).

Winning combinations are formed through matching symbols going from left to right. Each winning combo must begin in the first reel.

This slot revolves around Egyptian gods, including Horus (sky god) and Bastet (domestic goddess). It includes artistic depictions of these deities along with other common Egyptian symbols.

This game takes place outside of an elaborate Egyptian temple. The temple is flanked by two Horus falcons and pillars with hieroglyphics.

Payouts and Symbols

Symbols include an Ankh cross, Bastet, Horus, lotus flower, scarab, scorpion, snake, and royals (A through J). Horus offers the largest standard payout at 100x for five symbols. You can win up to 5,000x in this slot with bonuses included.

The scarab is wild and can substitute for all symbols, except the scatter (pyramid), to form wins. It doesn’t, however, create any winning combinations on its own.

Dawn of Egypt RTP and Betting Options

You can wager between €0.10 and €100 per spin. The Dawn of Egypt RTP can either be 91.19%, 94.19%, or 96.23%, depending upon the operator’s choice.

The volatility is set at 7 out of 10. This rating makes Dawn of Egypt feature slightly high volatility.

Dawn of Egypt Slot Special Features

The pyramid triggers the Wheel of Gods when landing three or more times anywhere on the reels. It also delivers a payout worth 5x (three scatters), 20x (four), or 1,000x (five) your total bet.

The Wheel of Gods awards you one spin. With this chance, you’ll earn 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, or 20 free spins.

During free games, one high-value symbol will be randomly chosen. All lower-paying icons (with the exception of royals) transform into this symbol. Assuming Horus is selected, every lower-paying symbol (besides royals) will become Horus.

The pyramid turns into a wild scatter during the bonus round. It substitutes for all other symbols and also triggers Pyramid Spins when landing two or more times during the bonus. You receive four Pyramid Spins for each scatter (max. of 20 for five scatters).

Regular free spins pause once the Pyramid Spins are triggered. The upgraded symbol that you had during the standard free games transfers over to the Pyramid bonus. This aspect pays big dividends if Horus is the upgraded icon.

Final Thoughts on Dawn of Egypt Slot

Play’n GO isn’t breaking new ground with Dawn of Egypt. They’ve rolled out yet another slot that deals with the same subject. Assuming you’re not tired of Play’n GO’s Ancient Egypt slots, though, then you should appreciate this game.

Dawn of Egypt boasts quality graphics and a nice-looking background. It also features a solid top payout (5,000x) and decent RTP (96.23%). Wheel of Gods, free spins, and Pyramid Spins provide some entertaining bonuses.

Overall, you should like Dawn of Egypt if you’re into the Egyptian period. On the other hand, you might consider passing on this game if you’re tired of the genre.
